How do people disable OCP(overcurrent protection) on their GTX 570's?

oh u mad · 06-24-11, 04:52 PM

I just came back from reading a huge thread on the GTX570's and them exploding because they overvolted their 570's and blew em up... I never knew about that option until people are saying "don't disable OCP!"... but exactly where is this option? In the BIOS or the actual drivers? I just want to make sure that I didn't accidentally disable it somewhere thinking it was something else.

I would imagine that OCP would be on the hardware side of things. I can't so for sure tho.
